Overview
Microplastics and nanoplastics are no longer just environmental concerns — they are becoming one of the most talked-about health topics across social media, wellness platforms, and emerging medical research. From bottled water to food packaging, synthetic clothing to cosmetics, plastic particles are entering the human body at measurable levels.
Patients are asking questions. Providers need answers. Now, individuals can access answers directly.
We utilize a state-of-the-art analytical testing platform designed specifically to identify and quantify nanoplastic particles with exceptional sensitivity. Our advanced process detects nano-scale plastic particles, identifies polymer types, quantifies measurable concentrations, minimizes contamination through controlled laboratory protocols, and provides detailed, easy-to-interpret reporting.

How to collect your sample
Watch the step-by-step collection instructions before starting your at-home nano plastics test. Follow along carefully to ensure your sample is collected correctly and your results are accurate.
Why it matters
Clinical value
What are nano plastics?
Microplastics are particles smaller than 5mm. Nanoplastics are even smaller — microscopic particles capable of crossing biological barriers. Research has identified plastic particles in the bloodstream, lung tissue, liver, placenta, and arterial plaque.
Why this is a health concern
Early research suggests possible associations with chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, hormone disruption, immune dysregulation, cardiovascular risk, and fertility concerns. Nanoplastics can also carry chemical additives such as phthalates and BPA.
How plastics enter the body
Ingestion via bottled water, food stored in plastic, processed and packaged foods, and seafood. Inhalation of indoor air with synthetic fibers and household dust. Dermal contact from cosmetics and personal care products.
State-of-the-art detection
Our precision analytical platform detects nano-scale plastic particles, identifies polymer types, and quantifies measurable concentrations — with controlled laboratory protocols that minimize contamination.
Direct-to-consumer access
Individuals can order at-home testing kits delivered to their door. Order online, receive secure collection materials, collect your sample, return using prepaid packaging, and receive confidential results.
Actionable next steps
Testing provides a baseline for reducing exposure (avoid heating plastics, filter water, choose natural fibers) and supporting natural detox pathways through liver health, gut elimination, antioxidant support, and hydration.

Detection panel
Polymers we identify
Our state-of-the-art analytical platform detects and identifies 12 polymer types commonly found in human urine specimens — each with distinct environmental sources and health relevance.
| Code | Full Name | Health Relevance |
|---|---|---|
| PE | Polyethylene | Strong sorption of POPs (PAHs, PCBs); long persistence |
| PP | Polypropylene | Adsorbs organic pollutants; resistant to degradation |
| PS | Polystyrene | Can release styrene monomer; toxicological concern |
| ABS | Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene | Contains additives; complex degradation products |
| SBR | Styrene-Butadiene Rubber | Major source of urban microplastics (tyre wear) |
| PMMA | Polymethyl Methacrylate | Persistent; lower sorption capacity |
| PC | Polycarbonate | Potential BPA release; endocrine concern |
| PVC | Polyvinyl Chloride | Contains plasticizers (phthalates); high concern |
| PU | Polyurethane | Degradation releases additives |
| PET | Polyethylene Terephthalate | Common fibre source; binds metals/organics |
| N6 | Nylon-6 | Interacts with metals and polar contaminants |
| N66 | Nylon-6,6 | Strong binding with metals and organics |
